Dale Hull of Town State College advises regular maintenance to cut costly farm machinery repairs. He notes breakdowns at critical times like harvest can ruin crops, and that routine oiling greasing bolt tightening and adjustment help prevent failures, with skilled operators following a maintenance routine.
A farmer can prevent costly repairs by keeping a routine schedule of lubrication inspection and adjustment. Equip a small farm machine with tools and an electric welder plus bolts to handle minor breaks. A basic, sheltering shop suffices to store equipment and enable self repair.
A. E. Cott of Iowa State College recommends pruning old fruiting canes to ground level and burning them after berries finish. Pruning soon after harvest reduces anthracnose and improves air flow for new shoots. Mulching, after cultivation, with ground corn cobs sawdust straw or clippings conserves moisture and suppresses weeds.
Pruning each year takes little time and does not harm the tree significantly. Occasional heavy pruning can delay fruit production for four to five years.
